IPL Orange Cap 2021: Most Runs In IPL 2021
The IPL 2021 schedule has been postponed because of the Covid epidemic. Therefore, the remainder of the tournaments might be in either India or the UAE. That will be after the Twenty20 matches in October and November.
That aside, Shikhar Dhawan is the IPL orange cap winner 2021, and it must have been a very rewarding title to bring home. It was well deserved, too, because he has worked diligently and smartly throughout his career. This season alone, he has hit 43 as the most fours.
Let’s explore more about the Orange Cap and all those involved.
What is the Orange Cap, and what are its rules?
The Orange Cap is given to whoever is the outstanding run-scorer of the Indian Premier League. If there’s a tie between two batsmen, the one with a higher strike rate is presented with the Orange Cap.
Now, as long as that batsman maintains his top score in the season’s matches, he can wear the Orange Cap in the field during tournaments.
On the other hand, if a batter from the opposition gets ahead of the previous highest scorer, that previous Orange Cap holder can wear it till the end of that inning and hand over the Orange Cap to the opposition batsman.
The winner from the final games gets to wear the Orange Cap for the entire season of the IPL. So, for example, this season, Shikhar Dhawan had the most run score of 380. Therefore, he is the IPL orange cap winner in 2021.
